TOPIK Practice – TOPIK I 어휘 [어휘 (Vocabulary)] 1–5 (10/11/2026) – sophie cunningham

정답: C. 작가

How to solve: The sentence states that Sophie Cunningham is 'famous' and the blank needs an occupation. Sophie Cunningham is known to be an author. Among the choices, '작가' (writer/author) is the correct fit.

A — '학생' means student. While she might have been a student at some point, it's not her famous occupation.

B — '의사' means doctor. This does not match her known profession.

C — '작가' means writer or author. This is her well-known profession, making the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

D — '요리사' means chef. This does not match her known profession.

정답: A. 책

How to solve: The sentence uses the verb '씁니다' (to write/use) and refers to Sophie Cunningham, who is an author. Authors write books. Therefore, '책' (book) is the most appropriate word to fill the blank.

A — '책' means book. Authors write books, so '책을 씁니다' (writes books) is correct.

B — '영화' means movie. People '만들다' (make) or '찍다' (film) movies, not '쓰다' (write) them in this general context (though screenwriters write scripts, the basic word for author's output is '책').

C — '노래' means song. People '만들다' (make) or '부르다' (sing) songs.

D — '그림' means painting/picture. People '그리다' (draw/paint) pictures.

정답: B. 읽습니다

How to solve: The sentence talks about '책' (books) written by Sophie Cunningham and what people do with them. The verb for interacting with a book is 'to read'. Among the choices, '읽습니다' means 'read', which is the correct action for books.

A — '먹습니다' means eat. You cannot eat books.

B — '읽습니다' means read. This is the correct action people do with books.

C — '잡습니다' means catch or hold. While you hold a book, the primary action is reading it.

D — '듣습니다' means listen. You listen to music or stories, but you read books.

정답: C. 집

How to solve: Authors often work from home or a personal studio. While some might work for publishing '회사' (company), '집' (home) is a very common and suitable place for an author to '일하다' (work). Given the common TOPIK I vocabulary, '집' is a strong choice as a general place for work, especially for an author.

A — '학교' means school. Authors typically do not work in schools unless they are also teachers.

B — '회사' means company. While some authors might work for a publishing company, '집' (home) is a very common place for authors to do their writing, fitting the TOPIK I level of general vocabulary.

C — '집' means home. Many authors work from home, making this a plausible and common answer for a general 'work' location.

D — '병원' means hospital. This is incorrect for an author's workplace.

정답: A. 여행하다

How to solve: The sentence states that Sophie Cunningham '좋아합니다' (likes) to do something. Without specific information about her hobbies, a common activity that people like to do is '여행하다' (to travel). This is a general vocabulary question, and '여행하다' is a common TOPIK I verb for leisure activities.

A — '여행하다' means to travel. This is a common and generally liked activity, making it a plausible answer when specific hobby information is not given.

B — '청소하다' means to clean. While necessary, it's not typically something people say they 'like' without specific context, especially for a general question.

C — '공부하다' means to study. While authors might research, 'studying' in a general sense might not be their primary 'liking' as a hobby.

D — '요리하다' means to cook. This is a possible hobby, but '여행하다' is a very common and popular activity often expressed as a 'liking'.
